Prominent African Democratic Congress, ADC, leaders including Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, Rabiu Kwankwaso, Rauf Aregbesola, Rotimi Amaechi and Aminu Tambuwal were on Wednesday seen holding the banner of the party while leading the ongoing “SAVE OUR DEMOCRACY” protest in Abuja.
The protest is against INEC’s decision to delist the party’s leadership headed by David Mark.
The demonstrators sang Nigeria’s former national anthem, “Arise, O Compatriots!” even though it was replaced on May 29, 2024 by President Bola Tinubu with the 1960 independence anthem, “Nigeria, We Hail Thee.”
Addressing the crowd, ADC chieftain Rotimi Amaechi urged Nigerians to seize their destiny and resist political manipulation, calling on citizens to stand up for the integrity of the nation’s democracy.
